MANASSAS, Va. – Applications are being accepted through Feb. 16 for the 2024 Electric Cooperative Youth Tour, an annual all-expenses-paid, week-long event in Washington, D.C., sponsored by the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA).
Applicants must be high school sophomores or juniors whose homes are served by Northern Virginia Electric Cooperative (NOVEC); eligibility extends to public, private, and home-schooled students. NOVEC will sponsor up to four students for the event in June 2024.
NOVEC’s representatives will join more than a thousand outstanding young men and women from electric co-ops across the country. Youth Tour participants will meet congressional representatives, tour museums, historic sites and memorials, and enjoy events and entertainment.
The students all come together for Youth Day, where they can interact and hear speakers who provide insight into the important roles electric co-ops play in their communities.
